Lincoln MKS EcoBoost vs LT1 Camaro
#31
i honestly didnt pay much attention to that MRT car..lol..i dont think that there have been other MKS gens.
comparing the MKS to the CTSV really isnt fair due to the vast differences in price. the sticker on the car im driving is 58,XXX and it has literally every option the company offers...compared to the entry price of a ctsv at 63xxx. for someone who is interested in power, the CTSV is hard to argue with but for a "normal" daily driver, the MKS is a great car. also, the CTSV stands out in a crowd with an aggressive exterior styling that makes ti differ from the regular CTS...on the other hand, the MKS blends in nicely because it is the regular model.
btw...i was out with the car tonight and on the highway cruising at 75mph, i was around 1700rpm. at 88mph, i was right around 2000rpm but there was no time travel.
ive also had the fusion sport awd and while the engine it has is an improvement over the standard fusion and the sport is fun to drive, the ecoboost 3.5 would make it amazing...like going after Evo amazing.
i also agree fully that Ford should offer a SHO that doesnt cost 50 grand. it is an awesome car but its so expensive...a stripped down model would be a big seller with younger buyers who want more bang for their buck and dont need heated/power everything.

eh, I posted about the 'older' MKS in comparison to the picture of the MKZ that blue ***** posted. I thought they might have refreshed the MKS at some point but looks like I was wrong.
And WOW, 75 mph @ 1700 is very good. Do you know if that has the same transmission in it as with the other n/a 3.5 V6 cars like the Taurus, Sable, and Flex?
